The announcement that John is the new writer for "Cyborg" was made at a 3/26/16 live-streamed press conference at WonderCon that presented the impressive creative teams behind the "Rebirth" of all of the DC line-up. John says, "I plan to create all kinds of exciting new adventures for this character, and I want to thank DC Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns for having faith in me to make this title great! You can catch a glimpse of Cyborg's origin in the new 'BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN' movie. CYBORG will also be in the upcoming big-budget 'JUSTICE LEAGUE' movie.
